My player did have trouble reading the file. That is I have my own code to look in the file at the notes and tags and the events which I used before I realised FMOD did it (for lyrics, still need it for timing the notes)…

That is I declared a variable in a condition (the language I use allows that) and use it in another <separate> condition

if tag
{
var text; text = ""
some other stuff
}
later
if that
text += new stuff…

which would crash because some things happens out of sequence.

Anyway, I fixed the code to read it.

Anyway, it indicates something wrong with the file itself, which may not matter. But either some information is missing, or something stops FMOD from fully processing it.

Here is what I found:

Only
Text:QUANTUM JUMP

Text (Time Ms):957

are descriptive enough to handle… Sure there are a bunch of Lyric tags. But there is no Matching Time stamps and matching text (real lyrics) other than the stuff above

Lyric:

Lyric:SAL

Lyric:VA

Lyric:MI
[/code:2zp27umc]
and so on, only lyric tags…

In any case, your code, if it was working should show the stuff above, like mine does.

As for why FMOD has Lyrics tag (with no time stamp) and a mirror Text Tag (holding a slight varient of the lyric) with a ralated time stamp is something I have not undertood yet.

here is what all my .kar look like (some extra data from my own decoder mixed in; tracks…
